I advise once set that they are put in the freezer for 10-15 minutes which will shrink the resin ever so slightly and make them easier to pop out! Hope that helps!

I have some that are done, but I'm having a heckuva time getting them out of the trays. The resin is adhered to the sides, and they're almost impossible to get out. What did I do wrong?
